The Chia seeds are tiny black and white seeds. So they are the seeds. I went to web 's to make sure. Hope this helps.

I looked at mine & saw the little black dots as well. Never noticed them before! The only thing I could find is that these are seeds from weeds that get mixed in. I've been using chia seeds for at least a year now & have had only positive results especially with my HDL's. Don't worry about the black dots. If it was something bad it would be all over the Internet. : ) Hope this helps.

Have to say this though, and hopefully the owner is reading. The section in the middle, were u pull out (to make the table larger) which weUsed from the beginning, has crappy bolts (not sure if that is the proper term for them) within a week they left black spots (which I am assuming is from being shipped over seas) and them delivered to us. I now have black marks that are visible on the top (eating area) of the table. I don't like it and would love to c the sellers remedy that pronblem!

Hi there I've used these seeds before, they seem to be slightly washed but not to a great extent, I find its hit and miss some batches are processed very well others are dirty and earthy, I would round up by saying that they are natural and have had little washing.

Hey Burrel, I just purchased the seed myself and have not been able to see how it is going to respond yet. Good luck!

The Chia seeds that I purchased contained no foreign matter. They were delicious and I have used them in baking, cooking and in oatmeal. I bought the 4 pack and gave 2 bags away to friends and kept the other 2 for myself. I am on my second bag and have found no problem and will buy it again.

In my case it grew into a wild strawberry not black. I have a lot of very fragrant small red berried. I think you right are about the scam! They came directly from the woods as wild as could be.

I was concerned about this too and did a bit if research. What I read about these seeds had led me to believe that they aren't GMO. Hope this helps.

I planted these seeds for my animals to eat. They sprouted and grew well. I guess you could blend them, but they are dry. I see somebody else replied that they came with mold on them. Mine were dry with no mold, but if theirs had mold, then I would say no way should you blend them. Yuck!

they aren't chrysanthemums. Treasures by Lee sells seeds that are mislabelled. I left extensive comments on their profile as I was extremely disappointed.

I filled mine with no shell sunflower seeds and they devour it, maybe try another type of seed, the shell might be detering them.

I don't ever remember my seeds being sent from China. I don't buy anything sent from China. Please check with Amazon and if you don't want them, send them back. This is news to me. Take care.

I got rid of the original package and I don't remember. I sure do love them though. I grind mine as a friend with diverticulosis got diverticulitis from a chia seed. After it's ground it still swells up and fills me up along with all the goodness that they have.

One of mine has a tiny chip in it, but I think it is because of the grain of the bamboo in that particular spot.

You did not state what you were straining, if it's tomatoes there should be no seeds coming through I gwt no seeds coming through on mine I have strained tomatoes, carrots, apples, Zucchini and potatoes for my gnocchi

I have never noticed any seeds in mine but have seen a bit of skin a few times. The tomato chunks are fairly small.

Sorry, haven't tried chia. It was recommended for bigger seeds so they couldn't pass through but it is a fine grade of hemp so it may work. Try emailing the folks at the sprout house.
